Gained full visibility and streamlined threat detection through behavior-based insights and AI integration
Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth. We have fine-tuned our security policies and allowed different levels of policies to get rid of those false positives. Currently, we are getting a fairly good amount of incidents that are not false positives or benign, but actionable items. The process is streamlined. In the initial days, the operations used to get involved in a lot of benign and other activities, but now the process is streamlined. We are leveraging the auto-detection and remediation plans. The operations teams are now more involved in other business roles as well, not just looking into the logs and fetching out what's happening there. They have fixed a lot of things. Initially, they didn't have IAC code drift detection, cloud posture management, or security posture management, but they have those now. They purchased different vendors and did a merger with that. They have now Prisma Cloud that gets integrated and now they are working with Cortex Cloud. Everything that was negative has now been addressed, and the product altogether looks to be in a very better and mature shape now. Currently, it's more or less detecting the workloads with AI-based best practices. Since most organizations are consuming AI agents and other things, we are looking forward to seeing what other feature enhancements Palo Alto can support in that.

Has improved threat detection and streamlined incident analysis through centralized control and AI-driven insights
People are looking for Cynet because it has next-generation threat protection that detects zero-day threats. It has UEBA (user entity behavior analysis), threat hunting features, and storage device control where we can create profiles and block unauthorized USB storage devices. We can also create threat protection policies to detect malware, ransomware, and many other threats. The most valuable feature is the UBA (User behavior analysis). It has integration with SIEM solutions, allowing us to share our logs to third-party SIEM servers. Cynet has AI integration which showcases complete forensic data about threats, making it very easy to understand what happened with the system and what type of incident was detected. Autonomous breach protection is a feature of Cynet which can detect and mitigate known and unknown threats based on signatures. If there are any signature-less files, malware, or ransomware, it will detect them based on autonomous breach protection capabilities. The centralized management console provides a dashboard where we can see four types of attack vectors and incident counts in real-time. It continuously scans the radar and shows open alerts related to files, hosts, users, or networks. We can easily export these alerts and send reports via email.

A scalable and stable tool that offers users a great GUI
Though I have not extensively worked on LogRhythm NDR, I know the need for a compute side since, in the past, we had required the compute side to deploy the solution in one of our company's client's infrastructure. The product's setup phase was easy and not complicated. The deployment process of LogRhythm NDR can vary between three and four weeks, depending on the skill set of the people involved in the deployment process. For deployment of the product, you have to purchase the license from LogRhythm, and you have to ensure that the compute side is ready for LogRhythm. After you deploy NDR and sensors in the premises of our company's customer on the SPAN and TAP port, and once the logs go through throughput, you can see the logs coming to LogRhythm NDR's console.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I don't have to do much monitoring with it; I don't have to have anybody manually looking at this, it gives us reports, and it lets us know if something needs to be addressed, and we can easily address it."
"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."
"They have a new GUI which is just fantastic."
"Stability is one of the features we like the most."
"It's a perfect solution. It integrates well into the environment."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is specifically designed to prevent zero-day attacks and is part of an ecosystem of Palo Alto, providing customers with a long-term vision to modify and redesign how security is applied in their company."
"Implementing Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has had a significant impact on my security analyst workload because it becomes much easier."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks saves time in various ways, although the user interface is fairly standard."
"At the end of the day, Cynet got the maximum rating."
"The feature I find most valuable is the reality graphical user interface, which I think is really different from the others on the market."
"In terms of incident response, Cynet can contain attacks, offer a trial period to customers, and uninstall if not continued. The most valuable aspect is its integration capabilities, covering endpoints and network data for a comprehensive view of threats."
"We especially like the fact that it can stop any kind of attack."
"Advanced detection and protection against ransomware paired with SOC monitoring are the most valuable features. They have 24/7 SOC monitoring and file activity. It is a very robust tool."
"Cynet is light and transparent when downloaded. The product's data aggregation is also valuable since you can see everything you need on a page."
"The SOAR function, deception, and forensics are very useful."
"The most effective features of Cynet are its ransomware protection and lateral movement deception."
"It's an excellent security tool with a user-friendly interface that's easy for anyone to use."
"The solution doesn't require the creation of rules or use cases from scratch, which assists our delivery team in installation and deployment. Its dashboard is user-friendly."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"A potential area of improvement for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the cost."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"I have faced some issues with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks; there is room for improvement in the sense that certain options prevent us from seeing and segregating data."
"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."
"There is also no recovery feature; if some endpoint is under attack there must be the possibility of recovering it or restoring it to a normal state."
"There are some false positives."
"Functions-wise, at present the times for events are not a user's local time, but we assume that will be corrected soon."
"SIEM - Although with their Centralised Log Management Cynet has created the basis for SIEM functionality, this is to be expanded in the near future."
"Their support for issues related to the portal or feature problems isn't great."
"One problem is that Linux servers are not supported."
"Compliance reports need to improve."
"Cynet gives a few false positives."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"Maybe they should add more cloud-to-cloud integrations and also focus on integrations with local, on-premises services."
"The tool has one limitation compared to its competitors. It does have a mobile app for NDR monitoring. Moreover, there is only operational training and not deployment training."
"From an improvement perspective, I would like LogRhythm NDR to reduce the compute size. I would also like LogRhythm NDR to improve the pricing model."
"There are opportunities for improvement, particularly in upgrading the expertise of local professionals and addressing support issues, which could potentially lead to cost reduction."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"The price is very competitive."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"It gives you a high level of protection at a very good price."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"Pricing wise, Cynet seems to be very competitive. The cost is probably lower than that offered by many of its competitors for all the functions and features it offers."
"The pricing was good."
"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"There are certain payments to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the product yearly. The pricing of LogRhythm NDR falls under the mid-range, in my opinion."
"The tool costs are two million rupees for 5000 users."
"When looking at the market and comparing it with other vendors, the cost seems relatively high."
